My apologies if this is in the wrong forum, but I'm really split between getting a laptop or a netbook. I'm torn between two computers that are available at my local BB:

Sony VAIO CS Series Laptop - has a/b/g/n wireless, can do light gaming, and Vista (I like Vista)

...and...

HP Mini 1000 Netbook - small, lightweight, very portable, glossy screen (I like)

I'm a .NET developer and plan to use Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer on this machine. I also have a dual band wifi at home but like ultra portability.

Anyone have experience with either of these two or netbooks in general? What made you choose it? Any complaints? Also, how is the performance of the HP Mini? Is it easy to swap out the hard drive?

Help me decide. Thanks!
